OCI_RESULT(3)															     OCI_RESULT(3)

oci_result - Returns field's value from the fetched row

SYNOPSIS

       mixed oci_result (resource  $statement, mixed  $field)

DESCRIPTION

	Returns the data from $field in the current row, fetched by oci_fetch(3).

       For details on the data type mapping performed by the OCI8 extension, see the datatypes supported by the driver

PARAMETERS

	      o $statement
		-

	      o $field

		data describes the column as, which is uppercase for columns created case insensitively.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns everything as strings except for abstract types (ROWIDs, LOBs and FILEs). Returns FALSE on error.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      oci_fetch(3) with oci_result(3)

	      <?php

	      $conn = oci_connect('hr', 'welcome', 'localhost/XE');
	      if (!$conn) {
		  $e = oci_error();
		  trigger_error(htmlentities($e['message'], ENT_QUOTES), E_USER_ERROR);
	      }

	      $sql = 'SELECT location_id, city FROM locations WHERE location_id < 1200';
	      $stid = oci_parse($conn, $sql);
	      oci_execute($stid);

	      while (oci_fetch($stid)) {
		  echo oci_result($stid, 'LOCATION_ID') . " is ";
		  echo oci_result($stid, 'CITY') . "<br>
";
	      }

	      // Displays:
	      //   1000 is Roma
	      //   1100 is Venice

	      oci_free_statement($stid);
	      oci_close($conn);

	      ?>

NOTES

       Note

	       In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ociresult(3) instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of  oci_result(3)
	      for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.

oci_field_scale - Tell the scale of the field

SYNOPSIS

       int oci_field_scale (resource  $statement, mixed  $field)

DESCRIPTION

	Returns the scale of the column with $field index.

	For FLOAT columns, precision is nonzero and scale is -127. If precision is 0, then column is NUMBER. Else it's NUMBER(precision, scale).

PARAMETERS

	      o $statement
		- A valid OCI statement identifier.

	      o $field
		- Can be the field's index (1-based) or name.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the scale as an integer, or FALSE on errors.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      oci_field_scale(3) Example

	      <?php

	      // Create the table with:
	      //   CREATE TABLE mytab (c1 NUMBER, c2 FLOAT, c3 NUMBER(4), c4 NUMBER(5,3));

	      $conn = oci_connect("hr", "hrpwd", "localhost/XE");
	      if (!$conn) {
		  $m = oci_error();
		  trigger_error(htmlentities($m['message']), E_USER_ERROR);
	      }

	      $stid = oci_parse($conn, "SELECT * FROM mytab");
	      oci_execute($stid, OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY); // Use OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY if not fetching rows

	      $ncols = oci_num_fields($stid);
	      for ($i = 1; $i <= $ncols; $i++) {
		  echo oci_field_name($stid, $i) . " "
		      . oci_field_precision($stid, $i) . " "
		      . oci_field_scale($stid, $i) . "<br>
";
	      }

	      // Outputs:
	      //   C1	 0 -127
	      //   C2  126 -127
	      //   C3	 4    0
	      //   C4	 5    3
